MRPeasy is a solid mrp system for small manufacturers. Inventory, purchase orders, bills of materials, forecasting, production planning. If youre running batches of the same product with a known bom, its a real option. Works well for companies in the 10 to 200 employee range.
A machine shop doesnt really work like that. You dont have a bom, you have a customer print. You dont forecast inventory, you order material when the job comes in. You dont plan production in batches, you plan one job at a time through whichever machine is open. Mrp is built for a problem you probably dont have.
Heres the thing about mrp software. It was built for factories making the same 50 skus over and over. You define the bom once, you forecast demand, you batch production, you auto generate purchase orders. Its a powerful system if that matches your shop.
Most small machine shops dont match. You make whatever walks in the door. One job is a 10 piece prototype, the next is 500 pieces of a part youve never seen before. Theres no bom to define. Youre not forecasting demand. Youre reacting to what the customer sent over last week with a rush tag on it.
MRPeasy can do job tracking, sure. But youre paying for the whole mrp stack to use one feature. Swarf is just the job tracking. No inventory, no bom, no forecasting. Save the mrp budget for a shop that actually makes the same widget twice.
